  Standard exposed length
  
  9.5 to 11.5 mm (0.374 to 0.453 in.)
  
  Minimum exposed length
  
  4.5 mm (0.177 in.)
  
  If the exposed length is less than the minimum, replace the brush holder assembly.

INSPECT GENERATOR ROTOR ASSEMBLY

Check the generator rotor for an open circuit.

Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the slip rings.

Standard Resistance

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
Slip ring - Slip ring	Approx. 20°C (68°F)	2.3 to 2.7 Ω

If the result is not as specified, replace the generator rotor assembly.

Check the rotor for a short to ground.

Fig 4: Measuring Resistance Between Slip Ring & Rotor Using Ohmmeter

GTY120759

Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between one of the slip rings and the rotor.

Standard Resistance

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
Slip ring - Rotor	-	1 MΩ or higher

If the result is not as specified, replace the generator rotor assembly.

Check that the generator rotor bearing is not rough or worn.

Standard diameter

14.2 to 14.4 mm (0.559 to 0.567 in.)

Minimum diameter

14.0 mm (0.551 in.)

If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the generator rotor assembly.

INSPECT GENERATOR DRIVE END FRAME BEARING
1. Check that the bearing is not rough or worn.
